There is one tree in a park at Mylapore in Chennai.
(Nageswara Rao Park.)
I shall make it a point to check if it is flowering now.

Thank you Mr. Barry. This tree seems to have adapted well
One of the posts on the net said that it was called a traveller's palm
because its leaves were aligned in a North-South direction.
Is that substantiated by the palms in your gardens?

If you mean the plant called Karpuravalli in Tamil, the leaves do not

Plectranthus aromaticus ?

Here is a reply from
The Flamboyant flower used to be the May Flower in Secunderabad in the
60's.
More recently it bloomed in July in Chennai but is in full display
today,mid-September, ( in the Agri-Hort. gardens).
Is this due to weather changes?

This is a sapling growing in the hills of Nagallapuram, which is about
100 kms from Chennai, just beyond the Andhra border.
There were larger trees too, often growing in the clefts of rocks.
The red stalks of the leaves were distinctive.
I did not notice any fruit.
Please id it.
Thanks,

is not allowed there. So I was lucky to stumble on
this tree, seen over the wall of a cousin's house.
